Back from the Depths

Of my toilet. Yeah, gross-out. I wont go into too many details but over the last 48 hours I had yet another run-in with my old pal food poisoning. (Sarcasm, what?) Thankfully it wasn't *quite* as bad as previous run-ins but it was still pretty bad. My ribs are sore from yakking and although it could be viewed as a minor annoyance when bathing, I've never been so grateful in my whole life to have my toilet and bathtub in such close proximity. Blah! What a mess.

P.S. I'm no longer a fan of Wendy's.  ::shudder::

In other news, today is Friday! Such a great one for several reasons:

BCPs!

1) I start my BCPs (birth control pills) today - WooHOO!
2) As previously noted I'm feeling lots better. A++ for that!
3) James took his last final yesterday and today is Dakota's last day of school before Christmas break!


ETA: I'm a horrible, terrible mom for not knowing this but he has school on Mon & Tues and then he'll be out for break. However, James really is done with school for now. Yikes, I think I need more sleep! 

Soo, that translates into one last three more days for mommy and daddy to finish playing Santa and then a nice long break for all of us! (Hey, I'm not even in school and I'm excited!)

Since the BCPs are the only surro related thing, I shall expound upon that for a moment. Maybe explain why I'm happy to be starting them? Anyway, I'm not pregnant, which I wasn't ever in fear of really but you just never know...so that's a really good thing. Then I guess I'm excited because it feels like progress and progress I like! Its great to know that when the times comes, I'll be 100% ready, regular cycle and all. One thing I've said throughout this entire process thus far is that I don't mind waiting (because I know there will be lots of it) but I don't ever want anyone to have to wait on me if I can avoid it. I want to be in the position to sign a contract and set a transfer date tomorrow if/when the time comes. Know what I mean, jelly bean?

Ok, whodathunk you could write a whole paragraph on BCPs? Leave it to me!

*Mental note: Must add surrogacy acronym list to blog.

Anywho, I know I said I would continue my surro thoughts but since the only thing that comes to mind after my recent puking incident is morning sickness, I think I better collect my thoughts a little more before I go into those. I know its a real possibility to be sick and that's ok, but I'd rather not focus on that as the basis for future things to look forward to. Just sayin'.

Only 8 whole days 'til Christmas folks! Hope you're all ready!

TGIF 'n stuff! ; )
